Poem on Garden Care

This wonderful comment needed an applause and what better way to thank the person than to post it to remain forever! Appreciation for any gardener is in way of blooms and fruits of labor but some one taking time to write a poem specially for me, I am very lucky.
Poem written by Mary Lobo
Aunty as you take soo mch care of fowers... you hav decorated ur garden in such a beautiful way... i'd like to dedicate a poem for you-
a poem said by the garden itslf...

My Mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
that gave my life it's start.

She turned me to the sunshine
and encouraged me to dream,
Fostering and nurturing
the seeds of self-esteem...

And when the winds and rain came,
she protected me enough--
But not too much because she knew
I'd need to stand up strong and tough.

I am my Mother's garden.
I am her legacy-
And I hope today she feels the love
reflected back from me...



People come and people go but you will always take a special place in my heart Mary and thank you very much for the wonderful poem. Such beautiful thoughts and meaningful too, and that too at such a young age, I am very much moved. Thanks. This post is especially dedicated to Mary Lobo. My God gifted daughter. You are a gem!
